Very nice! Great timing and excellent framing! Did you have to crop much to get this or did the 70-300mm get you in as tight as you needed? Can you give us some more technical info? The photo looks a bit like it was shot at night. Is that correct? What ISO were you using?

That's a good shot. It seems like it may be a little over sharpened or something that has left some artifacts. But the framing and timing are perfect and the lighting looks good too.

Yeah - that's part of the reason I was asking if it was shot at night. That and the color and lack of heavy shadows.

Shot was taken in the afternoon . A very thin cloud layer caused the light shadow.
A slight Crop , about a 75 % of image is showing shot at 300mm or 600mm 4/3
ISO 800 f 7.1 Shutter 1250 in S priority

IMO I could have used a little more shutter. I was sitting in my seat and shot hand held.
resting the arms on my knees. A little camera BLURR
I little too fast action and a little camera shake

Yes Over Sharpening due to editing inexperience

I added 1 more taken about 1 hr later. Thicker clouds same settings
